Invisible Women

Women & Names 4

The woman down the hall dreams of Dora. Every night, when she closes her eyes, she becomes a frightened girl, lying on that infamous couch, which is actually just an old leather thing like you’d find in any old house. The woman down the hall dreams Dora’s dreams. They’re not especially spectacular. In fact, she does not even know they are Dora’s dreams. She thinks they are her own, only in the dreamscape, her name becomes Dora. Sometimes, on accident, she calls herself Dora, because it is easy to become confused. Because even when banal, Dora has a vastly more exciting consciousness than reality.
